Animage has had a "character bento" feature for a couple (few? I forget...) years, with a different bento every month. ...日本穣? · Talk to Nihonjoe 05:44, 1 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
According to the ja article, A Japanese housewife 霞ん/Kasumin had to get up early for bento making and thought it was a dull, troublesome and unthanked chore. But one day she looked at bento making from a different angle and started to make kyaraben/gyakutai bento. Then on April 26, 2005 she started a blog to show her kyaraben and that ignited the kyaraben boom. The top page is this and this is her explanation in English.

Hi. Are there any 3rd party sources for the claim that she started the boom? What does wp:ja use as a source? By the way, I found her English story amusing but...I don't see anything there we can use. --C S (talk) 00:20, 26 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
